Meet me here!

Hi, I'm Alexandria (she/her)!
Elopements are very out of the box which is so incredible, but sometimes it can make the planning process harder. I don't just show up with a camera. We co-create your vision months in advance! You'll be working with someone who understands everything from from nuanced details to well known ideas and concepts about landscapes, trails, timelines, permits, light, weather, etc. I can take your feeling of overwhelm to "OMG this is so us". With over 7+ years as a Washington local and as someone who has specialized in elopements for 5 years, I got you!

"From the very beginning of our planning process, we felt overwhelmed, but Alexandria immediately eased all of our worries and made everything feel seamless and easy. Her ongoing communication, thoughtful planning (even backup planning!) along with her genuine happiness and eagerness made us feel completely supported every step of the way. On the day of our elopement, she was calm, relational, happy, and so easygoing, which allowed everything to feel natural and put us completely at ease. " - Sabrina & Luke
The Sage Trails Experience
A customized experience from start to finish
Step #1
Whats happening in your wildest elopement dreams? I'm going to suggest a date night to really dream up your day (or tell me your vision so far) and just enjoy some quality time together. You'll utilize my Sage Trails Exclusive Planning guide and first questionnaire to tell me all the things you're thinking about
Step #2
Once you are buzzing on a general idea of how you want to spend your day (or is it too much coffee??), you’ll get tons of amazing location and activity suggestions that are tailored towards elopements AND you. As a Washington local, I've got your back. We'll talk through everything and build a timeline, customizing everything to your needs and how it pairs with photos! You'll get vendor recommendations, permit assistance, license advice, aaand a backup plan because Mother Nature is her own diva and we love her for it.
Step #3
It's your turn to live out your elopement dreams! Your day is going to be incredible and reflective of you because you took the time to think through how to make it about yourselves. I really can't wait to photograph that!
This sounds like exactly what I want! Reach out here!
What others have said!
Her detailed Q&A and guide helped us narrow down the perfect location. She was easily accessible with any questions we had and allowed us to feel prepared (packing lists, how to apply for permits, etc). Her plan for the day got us all the best lighting and made for amazing photos. The photos truly speak for themselves!! Alexandria has the sweetest personality. She easily blended in with us which made the day feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would rave about working with her all day long!! We can’t thank her enough for making our elopement a dream come true.”
-Sarah & Ryan
"Alexandria is a DREAM to work with! She goes above and beyond in every single step of the process and makes sure that your day is perfect. She has the best smile and radiates the most positive energy.
Thank you so so much Alexandria! We were pinching ourselves the whole day and cannot believe how beautiful our sneak peek photos are. She captured us perfectly and we could not have made a better photographer choice! From the first meeting she felt like a friend."
- Camille & Tom
“My partner and I are both extremely introverted and camera shy but she made us feel so at ease during our time together - and the pictures showed it. By the end of our time together, I felt amazing having my photo taken - which has never in my life happened. She is extremely professional: communicative, prompt, adapts easily and without complaint when needed; but you can tell she is just a ray of sunshine with a positive attitude, who is genuinely happy for you and to be apart of your special day.”

She made every step of the process so easy. From getting to know us as a couple, to scouting locations (and sending us IN DEPTH options), to sending us a Wedding Day Bible to walk us through all the steps along the way (OMG it was AMAZING), to just being the best day-of, Alexandria was a dream.” - Tasha & Gabe
Frequently Asked Questions
Probably :) As Washington gets a lot of rain, we may encounter any type of terrain dryness level. Trails can be muddy or they can be dry and dusty. Beaches will obviously get your outfits wet.
I absolutely adore it when couples embrace this and I've seen first hand how "protecting the outfit" actually takes away from the experience of the day. By embracing the adventure, your outfit will have it's own story to tell!
Adventure means something different to everyone and is for everyone which is what makes it amazing. There are some great walk up spots, short walks, short hikes and longer hikes. Its really up to you, your relationship and how you envision spending your day! This is where my location skills will really come in handy as I will play matchmaker for amazing photo locations and your wants!
Of course! The beauty of your day is you get to invite exactly who you want. If that includes some of your family- great! If that includes some of your close friends, great! Invite who you love :) Here is one of my resources on how to include your family, whether attending or supporting from afar! Please keep in mind not all outdoor spots can handle larger group sizes however, so I strongly suggest to keep groups including yourselves under 15, unless you have a venue rented. This is going to be extremely important this year as well with all the cuts to federal land employees!
Yes friend!! Our natural areas have exploded in popularity over the years. Weekdays give you a better chance at privacy, not to mention ability to find parking, bring any guests along, and participate in any other activities you may want to do. Bonus: if you get married on a weekday AND at sunrise, that is potentially going to be a very private experience.
Yesss. Honestly I love weather, because you never know what you're going to get and it can create some epic things for photographs. Since we are in the PNW, you will always have a chance for rain, no matter if it's the middle of summer. Let's go with the flow as nature is unpredictable! That all being said if the weather is dangerous, we will definitely talk about an alternate plan!
1000% yes. Beyond the pretty images, its a time for you to "warm up" to me! Everyone gets a little nervous when a camera comes out. By allowing me to photograph your getting ready, you're getting used to me taking photos of you and directing you before the ceremony and all important portraits! You'll feel much more relaxed during the super important moments having a camera around!
With elopements, I encourage you to think differently. Because you're intentionally choosing amazing elements for your day to make it more special and feel all the feels, you're probably choosing intentional things for getting ready too. Maybe you rented a gorgeous vacation rental, or maybe you two cozy up in a reading nook together, or maybe you are getting ready at a trailhead and doing a first look around your vehicle. All this is SO unique and different from hotel big weddings. It's the way you are choosing to spend your morning! We could easily spend 2 hours documenting getting ready!
